Ingredients

• 1 Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
• 4 cups Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
• 0.25 cup Butter, cold and cubed
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated and set aside.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Add the sour cream mixture to the apple mixture and gently fold to coat the apples. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly.

Step 6

In another bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining the brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and the cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apple filling.

Step 8

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your Loretta's Sour Cream Apple Pie! Serve warm or chilled, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
